I contacted cingular about this very same issue. They told me I could do it, and it was worth the money I would save, however they said I could not transfer my old number. I'm not sure if the guy I was talking to was knowlegable or qualified enough to say this...and I for one dont really trust him

We already had a phone that had died . This was a replacement and Verizon simply transferred the contract to this phone (and the contacts, etc. etc.). Hope that answers your question.

The deal is that you CANNOT port your phone number over as the phone is sent to you already activated. I didn't know that when I bought it. Neither did my friend, who called Cingular, ported the number, and now believes he will have to pay an additional $325 as a result. I see that one of the reviewers- Monkey Puppet- also learned this after the fact. If you don't need to port your number, it's the best deal around.

not sure. We took it to the Verizon store and they did it for us as well as moving all the contact information. This does not renew your contract with them.

I do not understand the "new" world of cell phones, so I do not really understand your question. I have an expired Verizon contract that I continue to pay monthly. It is not a prepaid plan nor is it anything like their current options. I do not have a data plan.

Nope no contract required! That is why I bought it. I took it to my local Verizon dealer and they set it up for me and transferred my existing phone numbers to my new phone. I paid a little nominal service fee to do that, but it is sure nice to have no contract or be locked in for two years. If you have more questions let me know.

It is set with AT&T; and you can get a code that will allow you to go anywhere with this device. But most customers will need to pay for that code. Cingular is no more so it may be unlocked already we just do not know. But all AT&T; phones are able to be unlocked.

I compared the Amazon rebate with Cingular's. Both require the $40/mo. Unlimited Data feature (check the fine print on the rebate forms). My question is how long do you have to keep it activated? I don't need to access the web but I do need to access my company's email. Cingular offers Xpress email which is only $5/mo. This is perfect for me.Ther's always a catch.

Good question! If you'll see my review you'll notice how PISSED I was that I went through everything to place my order, only to find out Amazon wanted to tack on an additional $40. per month to "connect to the web". I REQUIRE a PDA, I DO NOT need web access. My only guess is that is why it is cheaper than the cingular site. You don't have to have the "PDA" extra plan there. $40 EXTRA a month = $960 EXTRA for a 2 year plan. The phone is not worth that much!

You can transfer your number if you switch service providers. Go to the Amazon Wireless Help Center for more information. An important requirement is that when you sign up for a new contract, your billing name and address must be exactly the same.

Hope you got your phone. usually as this question to a seller specific. These questions are general for the product not about shipping. Each seller has different shipping times. Sorry for late response. I do not work for amazon. I am just selling a phone on here ;)

Hi,I am also wanting to upgrade 3 phones and obviously have a family plan. When I try to buy this, it is forcing me to take a plan also for each phone, which I do not want. Any ideas if I will be able to keep my existing plan. I called up Cingular and they had no clue. Amazon says that they will cancel the plans that I am buying.Also will I be eligible for the Cingular and Amazon rebates.

No, unfortunately, the Amazon price only applies if you buy this phone with a NEW service plan. In other words, current customers do not get this deal.

Unfortunately, no. Amazon only offers brand new service contracts, you don't qualify if you have existing service. You can cancel your service, open a new account, and once open request your old number back. (This is called MSISDN maintenance.) It's not guaranteed to work, but you get your number back 95% of the time within 24 hours of filing the request.

Yes, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to either replace an existing phone or add one to an existing contract. Just contact Verizon prior to purchase to double check.
